We talk with K2 Boots’ Product Line Manager, Tom Pietrowski, about all the new boots they’re launching for the 2022-2023 season, including the brand-new Dispatch series of touring boots, Recon Team alpine boot, and the rebranding of Full Tilt as “K2 FL3X” boots.
We get into how the Dispatch boots compare to K2’s Mindbender boots; the differences between the Dispatch Pro, Dispatch LT, and Dispatch boots; Tom being a royal bootfitter; the origin of the fixed-cuff, tech-toe Recon Team boot; and get a breakdown of the K2 FL3X line of 3-piece boots.

My 99mm-last Full Tilts make for a great all-mountain boot, and I’m happy to hear that they’ll be marketed as something that can be used for more than just park.
Really looking forward to the Dispatch! Something that has some width to it and can perform on the downhill will be just what I need.
Glad the full tilts are still around, but you will never ever catch me calling them the “fl3x” lol
Heard K2 was going to come out with a new, upgraded 3 piece boot, any news you can share on that or confirm if it’s true?
Thanks, Mike
